The almost-but-not-quite feeling of the earth preparing for spring is tantalizing. Are you noticing it? We can all sense that there is a light at the end of the tunnel – Spring! Vaccines! – but it is not here yet. The waiting can feel so frustrating. This can also be Read more…

Teenage perspective on regenerative metamorphosis

This is my current paradox – perhaps you feel it too? I’m needing vast amounts of rest and I am also growing by leaps and bounds. Sometimes these two impulses feel at cross purposes. It’s very strange to be napping when there is so much to do. Some days I Read more…
